Experience Photo tours in the best of
Rome with Withlocals

"I can't say enough good things about my photo tour with Matteo. He picked me up right next to my hotel, and whisked me around to many locations that I never would have found on my own, and had several locals-only insights that In was happy to photograph."

"Matteo did a fine job guiding me to some photogenic spots in Rome that I hadn't known about (despite half a dozen prior trips). He's also a very good photographer, able to see compositions and execute them. "

"I did a photo session with Matteo and my two-year-old, and it was a lovely experience. Matteo was kind, patient, and engaging with both of us, which made the shoot feel relaxed and enjoyable from the start. He helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, and I especially appreciated the way he connected with my daughter throughout. While I think the session might have benefited from staying in one neighborhood to make transitions smoother—especially with a toddler—I still came away with a set of truly beautiful photos that I’ll cherish. Matteo has a great eye and captured both candid and posed moments that feel natural and full of warmth. Highly recommend Mateo if you're looking for a photographer who is thoughtful, easy to work with, and delivers gorgeous images. "

"Matteo was the BEST! The pictures were taken on our phone so we got then all and he made them look very professional with just our normal phones. He was able to direct us to the best gelato, coffee, pastries, and even a park (hard to find in rome)! He was great with our parents, and our toddler! We could not possibly be more pleased with this experience! 😀 "

"Matteo was a great guide! He took us around the streets of Rome for some photographic angles, assisted with ideas and perspective. Also, the idea of capturing \"Rome\" was an interesting concept for me.... trying to capture the essence in its people, its buildings. It was a good way of focusing on how to feature Rome through my photos and not just another city. His knowledge of Roman history was an added bonus. Matteo also took us to his favourite coffee shop, pizza stop and gelato. All just great! Matteo took his time and we did not feel rushed during our ramble through Rome's streets. I would highly recommend Matteo's friendly, informative and professional service. Grazie mille! "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Matteo. We did a fair bit of hill climbing but it was all so worth it for the incredible view of the city from up high and rewarded ourselves with incredible gelato on the way back down! He was great with our 7 yo and thankfully the promise of a sweet treat did the trick. Grazie Mille "

"This was such a precious memory for us during our visit to Rome. The walk around the neighbourhood with Matteo was such an eye opener. We learnt so much from Matteo — from photography tips to the history of the place and the local life and food of the people. Matteo taught us how to factor lighting in, which resulted in awesome photos. He gave us tips on photography which we will definitely use from now on. The local cafe with pasta, pizza and fried breaded rice croquettes (suppli) were delicious! Will definitely recommend Rome Photo Walk with Matteo 😊👍"

"Matteo was awesome with my 6-year-old. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I initially expected just a few cool photos, which we got, but we also had an absolutely delightful time. This was true even considering the unexpected trip to the pharmacy for my daughter's massive nosebleed. Matteo is a kind person and passionate about his work. Highly recommended!"

"My friends and I truly enjoyed our time with Matteo exploring the streets of Travastere in Rome. He is a wonderful, warm person who is a delightful photographer - both from creative and technical perspectives. He is great at making the personal connection to the people he is guiding. In our group we had both beginner and more advanced photographers and he was able to provide each of us a great experience. We met him at 5pm and ended the tour at 8pm - this was a great time to do the tour for the light, shadows, and sunset colors over the river. I hope to see Matteo again someday for another great experience in Rome."

"I had a terrific time with Matteo. He started out asking about some of my photography and what I am interested in. As we walked he discussed light, contrast, shapes, etc. We'd discuss an image and each take some photos. He'd critique and provide useful guidance. All the while showing me and discussing the sites in the areas we walked. It was a great experience and I enjoyed the company. "
